Project 42- taking a photograph of each child every week for the whole year

Within our family unit, understandably, I am the designated photographer, however one of my new year resolutions was to get in the frame more often. A while ago I listened to a podcast with the writer Sali Hughes in which she said that she thought it was actually cruel as a mother to not appear in photographs with your children because if (god forbid) you died, then they wouldn't have anything tangible to remember you. As a mother, this broke my heart, I had never thought about it that way before so here goes to letting go of the creative reins and handing the camera over to other people once in a while. Of course, I also took some pics myself this week!
